Hi all, I'm trying to add a list of validators to a subclass of rest_framework.fields.Field. I would prefer to add the validators to the field declaration, rather than every place it is used.
Ideally, I would like to be able to declare the Field similarly a Serializer, e.g: class MyField(rest_framework.fields.Field): class Meta: validators = ( my_validation_function, ) However, it looks like the Meta class is only used in subclasses of Serializer, and not in subclasses of Field. Adding the validators during __init__ is pretty ugly: class MyField(rest_framework.fields.Field): def __init__(self, read_only=False, write_only=False, required=None, default=empty, initial=empty, source=None, label=None, help_text=None, style=None, error_messages=None, validators=None, **kwargs): if validators is None: validators = [] else: validators = list(validators) default_validators = ( my_validator, ) validators.extend(default_validators) super().__init__(read_only, write_only, required, default, initial, source, label, help_text, style, error_messages, validators, **kwargs) Is there a better way to add a list of validators to a field inside the declaration of the field?
